Tregony

[2] Tregony was once a port, but clay mining upriver in St Austell has caused the river to become silted over.

[4] The manor of Tregony was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Frawin from Robert, Count of Mortain.

Captain William Hennah RN, who took part in the Battle of Trafalgar retired to Tregony and died there.

The church had been founded by the Norman family of Pomeroy whose castle stood here: nearby there were also in mediaeval times a priory and a chapel of St Anne.

The area's secondary school, The Roseland Academy (built in 1962), is just over the Parish of Tregony boundary.

The font is probably 16th century but of very crudely carved granite; the pulpit is painted with coats of arms; a monument to Jane Reeves, 1783, has an excellent portrait bust of her.

[10] Cornish wrestling tournaments we held throughout the 1800s and 1900s in a field adjoining the King's Arms.
